Chapter 5.

By the time Kayla, Kara, Grodd, Alex, and Barry had arrived at the L-Corp warehouse, Caitlin was already operating on Astra. Clark was under solar lights and Kara and Kayla went under some too. Luckily, they did not drain all their solar energies, so they managed to recharge in a shorter amount of time than usual. Alex checked over Barry's hand, having to re-break it since he had already healed wrongly and it needed to be set correctly. It was healed again in no time, however.

Grodd found a spot in the corner and went to sleep. Mon went out and got some supplies for the gorilla, but Kara and Kayla grabbed the bananas before the gorilla saw it. They were all waiting on Caitlin.

"Well," Caitlin finally said after what felt like hours. "I fixed most of the damage and solar lights have helped, but whatever was done to her spine is not fixable. She's paralyzed from the waist down. And she wants to talk to you two."

Kara had been texting on her phone for a while, but nodded at that. The two moved over to the medical bed which their Aunt was laying on.

"My little ones. You came for me," Astra said, she already looked better, the solar energies obviously having restored her, but she held out a hand to the twins. "After everything I did. Everything I tried to do, and you still came to me. To save me."

"Blood binds us," Kayla said, taking Astra's hand.

"It was Kaylar really," Kara said, slipping into using Kayla's Kryptonian name. When they had first landed, it was hard to not use Kaylar, but over the years she had gotten use to Kayla. Now it seemed with their Aunt there it was easy to slip back into the real name. "I thought you were dead. I never questioned the story I was told. Kaylar and her new husband came here and kicked up dirt and found out. Once we knew, we had to find you." Kara took Astra's other hand. "I don't care what you were going to do or did, you're my aunt. I love you."

"My little ones. I love you," Astra said before turning to look at Kayla. "Husband?"

"We're doing this?" Kayla asked with a laugh. "Mine's the fast one. The boy who carried you is a Daxamite and is Kara's boyfriend." Kara gave Kayla a look at that, but Astra merely laughed.

"What now?" Astra asked, wondering what will happen to her.

"You stay with us," Alex said, not meaning to listen in but she had been. "I'll tell J'onn if he has a problem with you staying with us, he can take it up with our giant telepathic gorilla." Grodd, who was half asleep, heard that and gave a call out as if he was agreeing.

"You suffered enough for your crimes Aunt Astra," Kara said. "And Caitlin, can she come with us tonight?"

"Um… yeah… with a wheelchair if you…?" Caitlin said. There was a flash and in a moment Barry was standing there with a wheelchair.

"Good. Clark, you healed up?" Kara called out.

"Yeah," Clark said with a nod.

"Go get Lois and the kids. I'll go get Eliza. We have a wedding to celebrate. Barry your sister and father are already on the way with a Joe West apparently. Winn, Caitlin, Cisco your welcome to join us. Mon get Barry a nice outfit. Kayla grab a dress from my closet. Texting the location of the party to everyone."

"What's… what's happening?" Astra asked, looking at Kaylar who was looking to Kara with a frown.

"I think they're celebrating mine and Barry's wedding," Kaylar shook her head at this.

"No stopping me," Kara spoke up to her sister at this.

"Can I bring my brother?" Caitlin asked suddenly.

"Sure," Kara said with a nod. "Grodd, hang out here."

Yes mommy, Grodd thought.

Clark stood up. "Barry," Clark said, and Barry turned, wondering if Clark was about to give him the pep talk, but Clark simply hugged him. "Welcome to the family."

"Wait, what? Why does he not get the heat vision and the threatening voice?" Mon protested, pointing at Barry, mouth open in shock. He had been waiting to see someone else get it since he learned Kayla was married.

"He ran in front of that Doomsday to save Kayla," Clark said, patting his shoulder. "He proved himself." Mon stared for a moment as Clark headed out the door to go get his wife and kids.

"I would have if I didn't have Astra to look after…" Mon pouted.

"You already got the pep talk and glow-y eyes," Kara kissed Mon at this. "But thank you for helping her." Kara then ran out of the warehouse as well.

"I think we all had our marching orders," Kayla said with a laugh gently picking up her aunt and putting her in the wheelchair.

"Hang on," Alex spoke up, moving over to Kayla and Astra. She leant down in front of the wheelchair to look at Astra. "I'm sorry. You're my sisters' aunt and I thought I killed…"

"Please don't," Astra held up a hand to Alex. "It's done. I am safe. My future seems better than it was, and I no longer have to choose between my Little Ones and late husband."

"But I had such guilt," Alex tried.

"Let it go, Alex Danvers. You made it right in the end," Astra smiled at Alex at this as Alex sighed and backed off. It seemed she was forgiven, but seeing Astra in the wheelchair, knowing Kara and Kayla's aunt could probably never walk again, wondering what torment ARGUS had put her under, and knowing that was partially her fault still didn't sit well with Alex.

-Finding Astra-

It was dark by the time everyone arrived at the restaurant. They were in a private room that had a piano to one side.

"Nice place," Kayla said to Kara as they came in. Kara was wearing a gold dress while Kayla had on a red one. Barry and Mon walked in wearing identical suits. Nice, boys.

Agreed on both. Siobhan did well here, Kara thought back as a man she didn't know and a girl around their age came up to Barry. Kara assumed this was Barry's father and sister. Another African-American man joined them.

"Kayla," Barry said, waving her over and the two came up. "This is my father Henry, sister Bailey, and a family friend Joe West. Where's Iris?" Barry looked around as if he expected this Iris to just pop up on them.

"Well, this was so last minute she couldn't get off work," Bailey said, seeming annoyed herself. "You could have given us more warning you were married!" Kara had to chuckle at this. "Couldn't even bring my girlfriend with me..."

"Neither could our sister," Kara added in pointing over to Alex who came in and headed toward the table. Last to arrive. She was probably dealing with J'onn. "I'm Kara."

"And this is Kayla," Barry said, putting an arm around Kayla. To Kayla's surprise, Henry hugged her.

"Anyone who can keep up with this one is good in my book," Henry said with a smile. "Welcome to the family."

"I always wanted a sister," Bailey said smiling now, going to hug Kayla as well. "Someone to help keep him in line would be nice." Bailey nodded towards Barry but before Barry could respond, Kara had to laughed.

"These two? I think we will have to team up to keep them in line," Kara joked, and could feel Kayla's amusement at that. She wasn't angry at the joke at all.

Bailey laughed. "I think I'm going to like you," Bailey said with a smile, hugging Kara too. "Got to ask? How do you know Clark Kent and Lois Lane?" Clark and an obviously pregnant Lois were by Astra and Eliza. Kayla had wheeled Astra to the table when they came in. Astra was still a bit out of it, but seemed happy to be out and with friendly people. Jason the eldest child of the two was sitting at the table playing with forks and knifes. Ella who was a little over a year younger than her brother had climbed onto Astra's lap much to Astra pleasure. Lois was standing nearby keeping an eye on them with Clark. Lois was pregnant with their 3rd and 4th. Twin girls they were planning on naming Lara and Jordan after Clark's biological parents.

Caitlin, Cisco, and Winn were sitting around the table, talking in whispers. The three were planning on making a superhero headquarters. They just needed to get Lena Luthor to fund it at that warehouse, and Winn seemed to be their key to Lena. They were joined by a handsome man, who looked a lot like Caitlin – this must be her brother Cain.

"Clark's our cousin," Kara said, watching the scene.

"Iris is going to be upset she missed this," Joe mumbled, hearing that.

"My girlfriend loves them," Bailey said. "Mind introducing us?"

"Not at all. Mon," Kara called over her boyfriend who had been standing by the wall as Kara brought Bailey over to her family. Mon followed, knowing that was what Kara wanted. Kayla and Barry stayed to talk to Henry and Joe.

It was a while later when Kara patted Winn, and the two whispered for a minute before Winn went over to the piano and Kara grabbed the microphone nearby. "Can I get everyone's attention?" Everyone was now sitting at the table, happily chatting. "For the happy couple, this song reminds me of you. So… for you."

Winn started to play the piano as Kara started to sing. "Moon river, wider than a mile. I'm crossing you in style… someday. Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker. Wherever you're going, I'm going your way." Barry put an arm around Kayla and smiled up to the song.

"Two drifters," Kara sang and everyone had a laugh at that. "Off to see the world. There's such a lot of world… to see. We're after the same rainbow end. Waiting round the bend. My huckleberry friend. Moon river and me." The song ended and everyone clapped at that.

Kayla and Barry got up, both going to hug Kara. "Good choice," Kayla said with a smile, liking the song. It fit her and Barry perfectly.

"Nice singing," Bailey called out.

"Better than you,' Barry joked, and Bailey gave him a smirk. Kara pulled Kayla aside, letting Barry and Bailey have their sibling argument over whether or not Bailey could sing.

I like Barry's sister, Kara thought to Kayla, and Kara knew from Kayla's feeling Kayla liked her too. She looks a little like the actress who played Belle in the new Beauty and the Beast.

I thought she looked like Hermione Granger, Kayla thought back.

It's the same actress, Kara thought to Kayla, giving her a look. Kayla shrugged.

Haven't seen the new Beauty and the Beast, Kayla thought and the two laughed. Kara putting an arm around Kayla and then Kayla felt Kara's emotions suddenly turn. Why are you sad? Kayla was confused as Kara's happy emotions left.

I just realized you're going to be leaving again, aren't you? You and Barry going to see the world, Kara thought already, missing Kayla as she thought it.

Me and Barry love traveling and seeing things, yes. Exploring the planet, Kayla thought and Kara looked down upset. But we also love our family. Even if Barry doesn't remember everything, he still missed his sister and father. I missed you. When I felt your emotions when I got back…You know there was once or twice when you were fighting I felt your pain, even across the world. The red Kryptonite thing was insane, even for me. Barry said I was moodier than usual at that point.

You're not leaving? Kara thought, hopeful.

We're still going to travel. But it's not going to be gone all the time. I actually have a job offer at the museum here. Kayla could feel the question. I know a guy. Egypt, whole big thing. You know I do have a degree in history. Got it online. Going to be working there. Barry's going to get a tech job. We'll take time off and do long vacations, going somewhere exciting. But we're going to live in National. And maybe when we go you and Mon can come with. Kayla could feel Kara's excitement. Neither of us want to be heroes though.

Oh, we'll see. You need an apartment. Can't continue giving me dreams every night, Kara thought with a slight chuckle at that.

Actually, we know a guy who can get us a good deal on a house boat. We're going to get a spot at the docks and live there, Kayla thought.

How many guys do you know? Kara thought, shocked and not even mentioning the living on a boat thing. It might seem weird to most people, but for some reason it fit Barry and Kayla perfectly.

You meet people, Kayla thought causally, with a shrug heading to the table.

"So, are you two ever going to want a family?" Kara questioned out loud now, when they took their seats, and that got everyone attention. Barry seemed nervous and went to take a sip of his soda.

"Um… well… maybe, someday," Kayla said, turning to Barry.

"Someday," Barry nodded. "Could be fun to take a son on safari and a daughter diving." Kayla and Barry smiled at each other at that, taking each other's hands. "But not yet. Neither of us are ready to be mom and dad."

Besides to a gorilla, Kayla thought, and Kara almost coughed out her soda, trying not to laugh at that.

It was after a delicious dinner when they were eating a cake that Lois came running is as fast as she could, being as big as she was. She had been at the bathroom but now seemed nervous. "Mommy, what's wrong?" Jason asked, seeing his mom seemed nervous.

"Central, is… oh, basically in ruins!" Lois said, making Joe, Bailey, and Henry stand up. "The Particle Accelerator exploded!"

"It's not supposed to be turned on for months," Cisco stood, shocked as Lois held up her phone to a video of it.

"Glad I didn't take that job at STAR," Caitlin and Cisco said at the same time, and then looked at each other.

"Oh crap. Cesca!" Cisco said, realizing what this meant for his sister who had taken the job he had rejected.

"Is she working there tonight?" Winn asked, worried for the girl he still considered a sister and Cisco nodded, going for his phone to try and get in touch with her.

"Iris," Bailey and Joe said together, both worried, wishing Iris had come with them now. Her job didn't seem as important as it once had.

"Dinah and her cousin Sara are in Central," Alex realized, taking out her cellphone but getting no answer from her girlfriend.

"Crystal there too," Cain said suddenly.

"Really, why?" Caitlin snapped, looking to her brother in worry now. Cain had remained mostly quiet all night. They had learned he, like Caitlin, was a doctor – only he was a pediatrician instead of a surgeon.

"If you talked to her you would know she failed school and moved to Central getting a job at a café," Cain said, a little tired of being the go between his two sisters. He was technically the youngest, being born a full hour after Crystal was, and Caitlin was the oldest, but at times he felt like the middle child.

"I'm going to… yeah… the news needs me," Clark said, looking at his cell phone and pointing out with the weird excuse for the people who did not know he was Superman. "Daily Planet wants an article."

"CatCo," Kara said holding up her cellphone, which didn't even bing. "Photographer… need to go get pictures of this."

"I'll join," Mon simply said, as the three backed away to the door.

Kara stopped though. Barry was feeding Kayla cake and the two were smiling. Are you two coming? We need all the help we can get here.

Not superheroes, Kayla reminded Kara.

You have powers and this is a big thing. We need you. I get you don't want to be full-time, taking on every crime, but part-time at least. For the bigger stuff. When you're here and it's a big thing. I know you care Kayla.

Kayla smiled. Her sister knew her well. She did care and was worried about the people they knew in Central. Fine, but I am never taking an outfit, Kayla said.

Agreed, Kara thought back with a sigh, but an outfit was not her sister.

"Come on," Kayla said, standing up, her husband unaware of what Kayla had just agreed to. "Let's go."

Barry was confused, but caught on quick they were following and got up. "Where are you going?" Bailey asked.

"Catch you later," was all Barry said as he and Kayla went after the others.

THE END.

Post Chapter Note: I hope you enjoyed this little story. It has been planned for a long time and I think it turned out well. This Earth is a part of the Millma Verse, so you will be seeing it again, although I don't have any more stories planned for this Earth. Only Millma Verse Tales. Good Grood is too good not to use again anyway. Besides, the Accelerator exploded and you got to see who got powers, if you can't already guess.

Please REVIEW.
